BTW, I found this while trying to find out more about the company and
I wonder if they are planning to update it anytime soon to tone it down:

 They talk a lot about how they make people feel good about themselves,
but nothing about how they cultivate people to produce robust reliable
software.
 That page above seems seriously OTT, so I just hope their development
processes are engineering-based instead of feeling-based, given how
critical a company they have become.

Regarding their culture then it has been mentioned in the press
that their CEO once was CTO at McAfee.

I guess that CrowdStrike's and McAfee's markets are close enough
for that to make business sense.
But I would not want to duplicate McAfee's approach to
engineering quality.
